I want to know what URLs have linked to my site?

Is there a command to check this on Google?

Thanks.

as an example use:

link:http://www.ihelpyouservices.com/

in the search box at google, or install the toolbar which makes this very easy

I believe that one will show Zero now. :) Although, somehow it has a PageRank of three and ranked.

farhan.... if you have access to a stats program that shows referrals, any visitors who find you from the Google toolbar will have this in the referring Url somewhere:

navbar

or something like that.

I dont understand ihelpyou, I see no difference in the search from google or the toolbar, I thought the toolbar was just a quick access to the google search engine with added features?

I will see if I can find a Url....

I have no searches done with the bar today as yet. Will post when I see one.

Found one from yesterday:
http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&q=google+competition


navclient

That is what I assume to be a search from the toolbar. All the others are pretty much alike.

yea, I found that out a few months back, so I began to study it by comparing every referral. Of course, I receive many more from the regular Url's but there are always are few daily from the other Url. I just assumed it was from the nav bar.

We do get a good number of referrals through the Google toolbar, but the majority are from the main engine itself. The toolbar referrals are similar in a sense to the referrals from some other engines and their basic search feature which is often utilized as a search default from within the browser, but not exactly the same as those from the main index.
